Abstract

This study examined the effect of voluntary environmental disclosure on the corporate performance of quoted consumer goods manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study specifically examined the effect of voluntary disclosure on the current ratio and quick ratio. The study used the ex post facto research design. The population of the study was drawn from selected consumer good manufacturing firms quoted on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The study was based on secondary sources of data, collected from annual financial reports. The study found that voluntary disclosure is positively related to the current ratio and a quick ratio of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study recommended among others that to further fortify corporate governance practices among firms, there should be severe execution of Nigerian Stock Exchange sustainability disclosure guidelines for manufacturing firms.
